Sherlock Holmespan - Private Detective

So this is the Man-Made Solar Sphere, feared by the whole world.

But how many scientists can create this?

Showing off your deductive skills, Mr. Vaccine.

| already know.

The Japanese Minister of Science, Dr. Ochanomizu.

Mr. Sherlock Holmespan, are you flying to Japan alone?

Yes. Right now.

You can take my assistant if you want.

A robot? | refuse.

| haven't fallen low enough to ask for a robot's help.

My pride won't allow that.

Neither does my Holmespan family tradition.

Is that so?

Robots are not that bad, you know.

I'd rather die.

Now...

Oh, by the way, Mr. Vaccine...

| have a good task for your robot assistant.

What is it?

As you see, | live alone, and it's messy.

Have it clean my room.

How dare you? Have my assistant clean your room?

A perfect job for a robot.

No need to think.

Oh my. Ever since that incident, he hates robots more.

Tokyo

They've been watching me for over an hour.

Who could that be?

Doctor... I'll go check it out.

Hmmm... No, Astro, wait.

Someone's coming.

This one looks like a real guest.

I'm a British private detective, Sherlock Holmespan.

As | suspected, rats are spying on you.

Now, Dr. Ochanomizu, please tell me how you created the Man-Made Solar Sphere.

Don't be modest.

Your involvement in the Man-Made Solar Sphere is a researched and established fact.

How rude of you to speak to him like that.

Shut up, robot. This is none of your business.

- But... - It's all right, Astro.

I will tell you, Mr. Holmespan.

As you were Saying...

| worked hard years ago to build that Man-Made Solar Sphere.

Back then, a plan was established to develop the planet Pluto.

To develop Pluto, an extremely cold world,

we needed a strong source for light and heat.

So I used plutonium energy to create a powerful light and heat source.

That was the Man-Made Solar Sphere.

But...

.. after three years and five months,

when | had completed the Man-Made Solar Sphere,

the Pluto development project was suddenly canceled.

Why cancel such a fine project?

Money.

We found out it would cost several times more than expected.

And the fruit of your labor,

the Man-Made Solar Sphere was forgotten until you realized it had been stolen.

Isn't that right?

Exactly. Who could have stolen it?

Well, there is a clue.

Dr. Ochanomizu, I'm sorry but please remove your clothes.

Huh? Remove my clothes?

Your enemy is after you.

| shall disguise myself as you.

But...

Hurry up.

Please don't be rough.

Shut up, robot.

This is a surprise. A robot private detective.

How dare you call me a robot!

Look closely. This is an artificial arm.

I'm a human.

Artificial arm?

Exactly.

| once served in the British Intelligence Service.

| sneaked into an enemy warehouse to rescue a captured agent.

But it was a set up.

Several dozen sticks of dynamite exploded.

My body was blown away with the warehouse.

| was seriously injured.

My own doctor was away from London on an international conference.

The idiots at the Intelligence Service stupidly handed me to robot doctors.

Machines are machines.

No way they can understand human emotions.

They took my body apart into pieces.

Then your body is...

The proud blood of my Holmespan family survives only here, in my head.

Then, out of your whole body, only your brain remains?

Exactly. But | am a human.

The Empire of Great Britain has been supported by my Holmespan family...

..and, as a human, | carry its bloodline.

Now ! see...

Doctor, please take off your clothes.

You disguise yourself as me and take the Doctor to a safe place.

But...

No argument.

Robots should do as humans tell them.

Good. The nuisance is gone.

Now, the body...

Huh?

Here they are.

Okay, I'm coming.

Who is it, at this unearthly hour?

Quiet, Dr. Ochanomizu.

I'm sorry to ask you to come along.

Good grief, are we all right now?

- Doctor, over there. - Huh?

Could it be...

Turn on the radio, Astro. Let's listen to the news.

Yes.

Repeating. Just now, above Tokyo, in the Kasumigaseki area,

a weird shining sphere has appeared and the area has fallen into panic.

Doctor...

Look at all those cars.

Doctor.

I'm fine. | guess everyone abandoned their cars and ran away.

Astro, we can't wait around, either.

Yes.

The gasoline is catching fire.

- Let's run into the tunnel. - Yes.

Doctor!

Here I come.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, Doctor, but please run to safety on your own.

Where are you going?

I'm going to destroy that Man-Made Solar Sphere.

What? Not even you can-

Astro!

If | leave it alone, it'd destroy all of Tokyo.

Here I come.

There!

Here!

Take this.

Here— Oops!

My energy... My energy's leaving me...

The Man-Made Solar Sphere has safely landed.

How do you like it, Dr. Ochanomizu?

What do you want me to do?

You made that Man-Made Solar Sphere.

Build an even more powerful one.

What?

With that, not only the Earth,

but other planets can be developed and ruled according to my plan.

What a madman.

This one was caught up in the Man-Made Solar Sphere's tentacles.

Oh.

Oh, this is Astro.

The heat broke its nuclear motor. It doesn't move an inch.

So this is it. You can't ask for Astro's help.

| understand. | will help you.

Good answer.

Then, Doctor, you are my partner.

I'll have your room ready.

Cheer up. Soon the whole universe will be ours.

Have a pleasant stay.

Dr. Ochanomizu isn't a man to give up that easily.

He may be planning something. Watch him every minute.

Yes sir.

Dr. Ochanomizu... | mean, Mr. Holmespan.

Please replace my arms and legs with other robots’.

| might not be able to move freely, but | should be able to assist you.

Shut up. | don't need a robot's help.

This is the control panel. How do! play it...?

Control is my job.

Huh? Hmmm...

This one would do anything it is told.

I'm Ochanomizu, who created the Man-Made Solar Sphere.

Yes, | know.

Then will you do as | tell you?

Yes.

Good. Then this is my order.

Fly the Solar Sphere into outer space now.

Aye aye.

Good. It's moving.

Dr. Ochanomizu, you can't do as you please.

What's going on?

Boss, the doctor used the controls.

What's going on, Doctor.

| can't let you scoundrels control the Man-Made Solar Sphere.

You are not Dr. Ochanomizu.

Finally catching on, huh?

Exactly. I'm a British private detective...

Sherlock Holmespan.

Now!

Don't let him get away.

Darn. After him.

Hey you, control robot.

| have a favor to ask you.

Yes.

| want your arms and legs.

Huh?

Exchange them with my arms and legs.

Please. | beg you.

Aye.

Thank you.

First, go and find a welder.

Don't let him get away.

Get him no matter what.

My legs... Oh no.

Damn. The bullet must have hit the leg circuit.

He couldn't have gone too far.

Get him!

Darn...

That way.

There he is.

How dare you disguise yourself and trick us.

Stop.

There!

Here!

You... Astro!

Control Robot!

Get the Man-Made Solar Sphere back in the crater.

| cannot move now.

Stupid. You exchanged limbs with Astro.

Useless robot.

Let me go. | don't need your help.

Let me go...

- What's that? - What?

Darn. | got it out, but now...

Darn that control robot.

No. That control robot can't move.

- Why? - | exchanged limbs with that robot.

How could you do that? Darn...

My whole plan is out the window.

Who can control the Man-Made Solar Sphere now?

The piano control melody is stored in my memory-

Shut up. Don't tell me what to do.

Let me go.

Ouch.

I'm sorry.

Useless robot.

| shall wait until night and then destroy the controls.

All right. I'll sneak into the control room.

Mr. Holmespan, let me carry you.

Shut up.

I'd rather die than be helped by a robot.

Mr. Holmespan.

Darn... Darn...

Come on. Hold on to me.

Stop it. Stop it!

I can't fly and I don't have 100,000 horsepower now,

but | have the courage to fight evil.

What?

- Mr. Holmespan. - Yes.

Astro...

Teach me the Solar Sphere control melody you have memorized.

Huh?

When | was a child, they used to call me a genius pianist.

| think | can play the control.

Yes, Mr. Holmespan.

Here!

- Mr. Holmespan, here. - Okay.

Huh?

Holmespan.

There!

- Holmespan! - Astro!

It's Holmespan! Get him!

- I'm counting on you. - Yes.

Here you go.

Tonight, I'll play until my arms stop.

| won't let you touch him!

Damn Holmespan!

This means...

We did it, Astro. At last.

The Man-Made Solar Sphere is finally exiting the stratosphere into space.

We did it. At last.

And you shattered my dreams.

Mason-

Mr. Holmespan.

Mr. Holmespan. Mr. Holmespan.

Oh no. He's been shot in the head.

His only... precious...

...precious last human body part...

and he is now shot in the head.

Unforgivable.

What?

| will never forgive you.

Stay away from me!

Stay away!

Robot Hospital

Dr. Vaccine, | couldn't ask for your help again.

I'm fine. | replaced my head at last.

Now I'm a fine robot.

Mr. Holmespan.

lam a robot now and proud of it.

Some robots are the same as humans...

No, some are even more wonderful than humans.

You mean Astro?

The proud bloodline of my Holmespan family...

Mr. Holmespan, tradition isn't blood.

It's the pride in your heart.

Thank you, Dr. Vaccine.

Please say thank you to that proud child robot, Astro.

An anonymous package arrives at Ochanomizu Laboratory.

It contains the pieces of a robot.

After it's put together, it keeps saying the strange words "Aurora Lux."

To get to the bottom of it, Daddy Mustache and | head for Penguin Land!
